A management minor is suitable for students who want to complement their major with “soft skills.”  Surveys of employers have frequently found they prefer to recruit graduates with leadership, communication, entrepreneurial, and strategic thinking skills. A minor in Management (MGMT) is focused on understanding how people make things happen in the world. This minor provides students with a broad overview of how to work within and manage companies, non-profits, and other teams. A variety of management elective options give students an opportunity to pursue their interests and focus in areas such as Human Resource Management, General Management, International Business, and/or Entrepreneurship.  

Requirements

A minor in management requires the completion of MGMT 325 plus 12 hours of 300- or 400-level management or entrepreneurship courses except for MGMT 485W. All courses selected must be preceded by listed prerequisites. For completion of a minor, a student must have a minimum overall cumulative grade point average of 2.00 in all courses specified as a requirement for the minor exclusive of prerequisite courses. In addition, a grade of C- or better is required in all management and entrepreneurship courses counted toward the minor. A minimum of six hours in upper-level courses in the minor must be taken through courses offered by Old Dominion University.
